People who constantly announce they're 'telling it like it is' usually mean they're about to say something spectacularly stupid.

I know we Remainers can be a bit tedious. Ten years of saying “I told you so” is a long time. But in our defence, we haven’t finished being right yet.

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

You want to permanently ban mRNA? Congratulations. You’ve just banned protein production in every living cell in your body. You’re not protecting yourself from biology. You’re demonstrating that you don’t understand it.
Replying to @atensnut
mRNA needs to be permanently banned from the US. No exceptions. People think I'm nuts for growing my own food, raising my own small livestock, and/or only buying from local farms. Our food supply has been tainted for decades.

I served two tours in Afghanistan alongside allied troops. We shared tents and flew missions in the same skies. Over 1,000 soldiers from partner nations died fighting with us there. When our SecDef diminishes their sacrifice, he damages trust with allies we may need again. Plus, he's the SecDef. He should be strengthening our alliances, not teaching ROTC cadets.
Hegseth on Afghanistan: I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters. It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there. Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations. In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."

Do you hate fraud? If so, I’m calling on you to join me in taking the pledge to protect Americans from fraudsters, by doing everything in your power to ensure that: 1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them. 2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters. 3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars. 4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door. 5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars. 6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.

457 UK armed forces personnel died during the war in Afghanistan. Beyond those and US fatalities, a further 703 individuals from 30 nations were killed. Hegseth owes each of their families an apology.

The Express campaign is aimed at the gullible. The misleading framing suggests a large number of "desperate farmers" making a "last-ditch plea" against a "hated levy" that threatens farms handed down through the generations. Bullshit. The UK has around 209,000 farm holdings. The government estimates that just 185 estates claiming farm relief will pay more inheritance tax this year, which is fewer than one in a thousand. Around 85% of estates claiming the relief will pay nothing extra. The first £2.5m of farm and business assets is tax-free, so a couple can pass on £5 MILLION. Anything above that is taxed at 20%, half the normal rate, and the bill can be spread over ten years interest-free. The copy appears to credit Andy Burnham with the "partial climbdown". The threshold was actually raised from £1m to £2.5m in December 2025, under Starmer and Reeves. Until April 2026, farmland could be passed on free of inheritance tax at any value. Most of that benefit went to wealthy landowners rather than working farmers. Fewer than half of those who claimed it had earned anything from farming in the five years before they died. Just 117 estates took 40% of the total value of the relief. Even under the original, lower threshold, independent researchers found that 86% of affected farm estates could pay the bill from other assets without selling any land. The two farmers quoted are presented as ordinary voices. Both are leading campaigners. Olly Harrison describes growing his land from 180 acres to over 1,500, runs a business with 14 income streams and a popular YouTube channel, and helped organise the 2024 Westminster rally. He has said inheritance tax should be scrapped for everyone, which goes well beyond farms. Martin Williams farms 800 hectares in Herefordshire and is a former county NFU chair. In 2025 he said the wealthy should pay their fair share and that £1m was too low. The threshold has since been raised two and a half times, and he now wants the tax scrapped. The page follows a familiar pattern, which the linguist Teun van Dijk calls the ideological square: talk up our side's virtues, talk up the other side's faults, and leave out anything that complicates the picture. The label does the rest. Call it a "family farm tax" and you have half-won the argument before giving a single figure. A small number of working farms with little cash do face real bills, and they deserve a targeted fix. The Express offers something else: a tax on 185 mostly large estates, presented as an attack on the family.

You’ve never filled out a death certificate, never treated a dying COVID patient, and your evidence is “my friend” plus whatever circulated in your Facebook group. I have filled out death certificates. I know what “underlying cause of death” means, and I know the legal and professional consequences of falsifying one. If someone dies from traumatic injuries in a car crash, COVID does not magically become the cause of death because they happened to test positive. You are taking an anecdote you cannot verify and using it to accuse physicians across the country of fraud. And calling me a “dumb fuck” does not improve the evidentiary quality of the anecdote.
Replying to @drterrysimpson
Hey dumb fuck, there's a difference between dying from covid and dying with covid. hospitals labeled people dying because they tested positive for covid but that's not what killed them. A friend of mine died in a car accident and the cause of death was covid so stfu
